After getting it running and most of the issues addressed, I decided it was time for paint. I used a bottle jack to bend the fender back out, and to straighten the under door toolbox. Being lazy, I used rustoleum rattle can camo. I wanted to roll on the behr paint, but I didnt want to do the...
I've been wanting to chronicle my M35 adventures for awhile, and I couldnt think of a better place than here. Beware, I'm a little long winded.
First and foremost I have to thank Warthog. Without his help, knowledge, and generosity this truck would have been parted out. He's a stand up guy...
Fantastic, thank you. I was thinking I needed tubes that size, just needed conformation. If using the stock wheels I intend to do it as safely as possible. Finally found a tire shop that not only knew what I was talking about, but had a cage and a good price for the labor.
I'd still love...
No one?
Due to lack of concrete information I've decided to put the 395's on the stock wheels as soon as I get my goodyears sold and have the money to buy the tubes and flaps. What size tubes and flaps do I need and where can I find them? The older links to tubes in some of my searches dont...
I recently acquired some 395's and I want to get them on my deuce. I've searched and read and searched and read over the last week or so and I've got a lot of my questions answered, but I've still got a few.
Is anyone currently producing a HEMTT style plate for the FMTV wheel? I've seen...

I still need to find mirrors, headlights and rings, tail lights, driveshaft from case to mid axle, bed, and some paint. Mainly.
Lights and mirrors being the most important, I've got some mudflaps I can use until I've got the money for a bed. I also need a tire/wheel. If I can't find a shaft...
Just a final update on this. The truck is running and driving, the #6 injector line was leaking, I guess it had some trash it it. Proper torque fixed the HH center bolt leak. Truck seems leak free now, brakes bled easily, and the winch is operational again. This one isn't getting parted...
Ill reseat it and check for an obstruction or damage to the mating surface. It's no lie when I say I had to put a wrench on my 24" break over and put some muscle on it to remove that center bolt. Ill get back with you on the bolt, thanks!
The b-52 was much easier to fix with hammers. The...
Its a steep learning curve, but I used to work on b-52's and B-1's, so I'm used to beating on old military equipment with hammers.
I need to find the procedure for adjusting the stop, or just play with it. It will not run with the stop housing on the pump. It runs great now, fires right up...
Started the truck with cover removed. Fired up and half way ran. Throttle response was non existent and it didn't want to stay running. Fired on starting fluid the first time, on its own the next. Injector lines were leaky from bleeding. May have air in the lines, waiting batteries to charge...
Removed cover. Rod was sticky. Free'd it up and reassembled. No start. Put power to fuel pump. In one orientation nothing. Switched around I made some smoke with the jumper wire. What is the proper way to wire the pump? I believe I've located wire 654(or whatever the fuel pump power wire is)...
I will pull the cover and give it a try as soon as my batteries recover. After having the top off of the in tank pump I assume the pump only has a power and a frame ground, correct? I had another set of hands and some plastic on hand to suffocate the truck in case of wide open throttle at...
Warthog, it was a pleasure to meet you and your family, I can't say thank you enough for the help.
Got home with the fdc, installed it. Was missing the return line for the fdc, so I bypassed the fdc per instructions on here. Injectors don't seem to be getting fuel. Truck will start with...
Noted. I just gave it a shake to see if it was loose, it didnt look like it had been removed. I don't intend to tear anything apart without consulting the proper t.o. Thanks for the heads up though.
Went to preview an M52a2 originally, truck cab was complete in the listing picture, got there and it was missing a passenger side door. It looked like a boneyard, thats for sure.
This was my first thought, however the truck was in a Forest Service lot with about 30 other trucks, all in some state of cannibalization. This truck was sitting right next to a pretty large field, which along with our long dry summers we've been having would explain the dust covering...
That's the plan, I just wish it would have been complete underhood. I had just hoped to get away with changing fluids and filters and adding batteries, not tracking down injection pump parts. I'll be checking underhood much more thoroughly in the next auctions, thats for sure!
Thanks for the welcomes. I've spent countless hours reading on here and looking at different trucks. The truck is pretty rough, Its missing a wheel, it has no bed, the winch cable is bound up in the drum, it has forklift damage on the drivers step and the rear driveshaft and the brakes dont...
